live-wrapper 0.4 working for me with both UEFI and BIOS

[Ben Caradoc-Davies <ben@transient.nz>]

Iain,

thanks very much for your efforts on live-wrapper. I can confirm that 
0.4 fixes #831367, #831368, and #831637 and that I can build a working 
minimal isohybrid image, choosing the unstable distribution to get a 
4.7.8 kernel with support for recent CPUs (e.g. Skylake). As root:

lwr -d unstable

Both of these QEMU command lines then succeed and give me a usable 
console (using hda as a model for booting from a thumb drive).

UEFI boot (as you note in the docs, this requires the ovmf package for 
the tianocore firmware):

qemu-system-x86_64 -machine q35 -m 1024 -bios /usr/share/ovmf/OVMF.fd 
-hda live.iso

BIOS boot:

qemu-system-x86_64 -machine q35 -m 1024 -hda live.iso

I have not yet tried booting from a physical thumb drive.

Thanks again, Iain. Much appreciated.

Kind regards,
